I can highly recommend Oxygen ROM 2 RC7, though some might want to wait til the Nexus One gets 2.3, when Oxygen will be much improved.

Oxygen Gingerbread is running faster on my Desire than ANY FroYo ROM I tried.
[Desire General] Terepin:
Will Desire Get officially Android 3.0 (Gingerbread)?

No, 3.0 is pure tablet OS.
[Desire General] doctormetal:
3.0 is designed for tablets but I do not know if it is tablet only. But that does not matter as 3.0 is honeycomb. Gingerbread is 2.3.
[Desire General] Terepin:
As far as I know, Android 2 will continue.
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
When the original post was posted gingerbread was thought to be Android 3.0.
[Desire General] Terepin:
I never believed in that nonsense.
[Desire General] SilverHedgehog:
Hey, no one ever said that there wouldn't be 2.3 on Desire. And if it's still advertised, it's still alive. And the Desire fits in it's range (D, DHD, Z) well. I don't think that HTC will abandon a phone that's still popular, advertised and produced.
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
yeap!

Calm down.. we will get 2.3 officially considering with N1, and the new Sense UI considering with "Desire family" and these are to be the last major updates to our beloved Desires, potential bug fixes are exceptions as well.
[Desire General] Terepin:
I doubt that we will ever get Sense 2, as it requires a lot more RAM space.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
it'd be nice to see an official release of 2.2.2 maybe too - surely that's just a quick update push...

and 2.3 got updated to 2.3.2 already for Nexus S... has Nexus One had 2.3/2.3.1 yet OTA?
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
2.3 upgrade for N1 has been announced recently & officially by Google.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I guess they'll push 2.3.2 straight out to N1 rather than 2.3.0/2.3.1?
[Desire General] stranger_4u:
I have htc desire with Android 2.1 should i go for froyo 2.2 or wait for 2.3 stable release?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Are you on the official roms - I'd say go for 2.2 if so...

if not and you are wondering if you should flash a 2.3 ROM then hopefully someone will tell you all the many reasons why you should :)
[Desire General] ldn.sti..hf:
Go for 2.2, i think, and wait for official update for 2.3.
[Desire General] adixme:
HTC Desire will be getting 2.3 n sense with some toned down features n less animations probably they will remove some heavy apps or port sense hd to mem card as the Desire internal memory is limited.. Im sure it will be the last update desire is seeing in its current life :|
[Desire General] shakland:
Or maybe there will be a release without Sense...not via OTA because the biggest part of desire owners don't even know the existence of an entire world of roms kernels etc and it would be a shock for them...but maybe there will be a full and official release without sense to ensure many MBs of free space..
[Desire General] andQlimax:
This of course will never happen..Htc will never release an update (on a desire with sense) that doesn't have the htc sense..

But I'm pretty sure htc will release an update to gingerbread to the Desire family (with htc sense of course).
[Desire General] osoelpeligroso:
don´t think so !
[Desire General] Nitin985:
+1 to gingerbread and new sense nothing from there thou if we are lucky we may get honeycomb for phones
[Desire General] -A-P-M-:
Gingerbread (green icons on top) on Desire successor ? :cool:

Next month I will replace it with this new HTC or with Galaxy S2...

BTW: Here is more about this new HTC:

[Desire General] mayad79:
The honeycomb 3.0 SDK has been released on google. Aosp Anyone?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
that phone was on htcpedia the other night wasnt it - called (possibly) HTC SAGA or something
[Desire General] Surfy89:
Honeycomb AOSP sounds good, anyone doing anything yet? :)
[Desire General] KYAKINGWIZZ:
Htc desire getting gingerbread

I too dont belive that the htc desire will get ginger bread how ever i do belive that we sholuld see honeycomb the device is only not even a year old
[Desire General] EddyOS:
We've more chance of getting GB then Honeycomb seeing as it's for tablet devices and last time I looked the Desire was a phone...
[Desire General] Superchasin:
Oh rly? it's a SMARTphone. Of course it won't be there officialy. But there can be ports ;)
[Desire General] ArtieQ:
Why is everyone talking so much about 3.0? I sure would be happy enough with 2.3 plus the new Sense..
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i'd be happy with that too - and i'd be watching the nexus one forums as a first point of call for someone trying honeycomb - i'd put my money in someone getting it working there (or on nexus s) before on a desire
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Yeah, smartPHONE, not a tablet...and seeing as the thread is will we 'officially' get 3.0 I stick with my previous post ;)
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
+1

100% agree...
[Desire General] Surfy89:
Everyone is talking so much, because of the same reason devs are porting almost everything to HD2 (apart from the reason WM isn't that good OS). To satisfy our geekyness, wanting more from our phones, wanting better performance and apps and etc.

:)

Edit: Speaking of porting, has anyone ported any other OS for Desire? I'm really keen to try the real WP7 OS, not just the launcher which is currently under development.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Can't do Windows as there's no drivers for Windows on the Desire. It'll never happen. And it'd be illegal
[Desire General] Surfy89:
Pitty... Just from curiosity. Why would it be illegal, when HD2 has it ported? Or it's illegal for it too :D
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Technically I think it's illegal for that too!! Windows has to be licensed whereas Android is open source so can be made for anything
[Desire General] b4kk3r:
Read this topic on engadget http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/28/android-3-0-honeycomb-emulator-has-traces-of-smartphone-support/

Seems honeycomb isn't only for tablets. However I doubt that we'll get honeycomb on our desires when it's out.

But as iLHaNroID just said, I would be happy if we just get gingerbread with the new sense.

Grtz
[Desire General] lukyjay:
I thought gingerbread was 2.3 and honeycomb was 3.0?
[Desire General] kuroneko007:
It is. Chances of honeycomb (3.0) coming to Desire are practically 0. I think Desire will get one more update before being retired, and that will be Gingerbread.

If you can't wait, CM7 is running very nicely for me! I don't miss Sense at all.
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
Back when the original post was written it appeared Gingerbread was to be Android 3.0. Since then it changed to Android 2.3 and 3.0 became a tablet centric Android Honeycomb. Now the next Android could be 2.4 (for phones), 3.1 (to keep going up in numbers), or 4.0 (to symbolize merging phone & tablet). But whatever it is it is ice cream sandwich.
[Desire General] doctormetal:
I agree with that. Planning on installing CM7 on my Desire this weekend. The only sense feature I would miss was Outlook Sync via USB at work. After some testing it seems MyPhoneExplorer can fill that void.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
One would guess that Ice Cream Sandwich (which was suggested to be released in summer somewhere...) would be 2.4 or 4.0 rather than 3.1 - as Honeycomb is only just coming out - it would seem odd to throw out Honeycomb 3.0 and then almost a month or so afterwards update it to 3.1...

but it is all just theory :)
[Desire General] erikbp:
I think they will but honeycomb will probably not happen.
[Desire General] tmwtp:
Consider NOT having MMS messages with CM7 Build#Whatever
[Desire General] rouvax:
or trully working camera.
[Desire General] renegade027:
I haven't actually seen anyone from google confirming that.

Edit: now as the honeycomb SDK is out, it seems, theoretically at least, that an AOSP phone build is possible. Sorry, for my earlier remark.
[Desire General] renegade027:
Hm! I also feel some annoyance due to the update-procrastination on behalf of hardware manufacturers. HTC are not the worst, actually. Samsung are facing a class action suit for false advertising because of that...But!

Let me ask you this:

1.If you've got a Dell laptop with Windows XP running on it - would you be terribly pissed off at Dell if they failed to send you a Vista upgrade and a Windows 7 DVD promptly after the coresponding OS release dates?

2. ( and this is not a rhetorical question) Did iPhone 3 users get automatic updates to iOS4 and the subsequent releases?
[Desire General] renegade027:
And even if one does exactly that:

Nexus One - Gingerbread is out for two months now - no OTA update!!! It was supposed to be 'a few weeks', I think....nevermind.

Nexus S - random reboots.....noone is sure why.....

Anyway, looks like there isn't a single device running Gingerbread properly. By the looks of it, Honeycomb is going to be de-ja-vu all over again but with tablets.
[Desire General] YoYoost:
Yes, this is truly a dealbreaker for me
[Desire General] WePlay:
I have no problems sending and receiving MMS with CM7 (build 25) on my HTC Desire.
[Desire General] JTHM:
I believe that phone OS updates should be treated in a similar fashion to PC OS updates. If a phone is sold advertising a pending OS update then it should receive that update. However as it costs a manufacturer to port a vanilla OS to their device then I would not expect them to fund a free update for an old or even current phone to the latest and greatest OS. Dell, Gateway, Acer, etc. aren't required to do it so why should HTC be expected to do it?

Instead I would be happy to pay for an OS update should I want it, as I did this past weekend with Windows 7 on my 6 year old craptop.

What I do expect phone manufacturers to do though is not actively block anyone installing a new OS on "their" phones should they wish to do so. Also, unlike PC hardware, there is not a huge range of phone hardware out there so I would expect a new phone OS installer to be able to identify the phone's hardware and install all and only the necessary drivers to make the phone work optimally. I also do not agree with "point" release updates coming from the manufacturer - these should come OTA directly from the OS provider, i.e. Google.

This consumer "black box" approach to phones by manufacturers is BS in my opinion.
[Desire General] GingaB:
Why is everybody bothered by official Gingerbread release? It brings very little to the table. But if you want it just for the sake of updating your phone why not root and experiment with custom roms?? Its the best decision Ive ever made! Screw official updates! Custom roms ROCK! :D
[Desire General] conal85:
Looks like you're all wrong guys!! Gingerbread WILL be available to all desire handsets in Q2
[Desire General] pooley:):
HTC Desire will never be upgraded to 3.0 ... :) since 3.0 is honeycomb, gingerbread is 2.3 and sup ...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I wish someone would update the title of this thread to '2.3/2.4' (Gingerbread) and not 3.0...
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
any news ?

I will not root my Desire, and not jump into the custom rom sea as well, until this last official update to Desire is become real, and even not before buying my next android phone (end of the year maybe). Upon recent improvements in the market and considering with HTC's 2011 models, now I am unsure if I will continue with HTC, which was actually a feeling in the beginning when I first begun to use my beloved Desire.
[Desire General] ArtieQ:
I agree with you even if we might not have the same perspective. I hate the way HTC is marketing phones right now, way too many being produced to be sure WHEN to buy a new phone even for someone like me who always picks the right timing.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
with that recent news that google were holding off honeycomb asop until they fix bits for it to work with phones - maybe desire will get honeycomb :p
[Desire General] daniele610:
yes! i think
[Desire General] Zer4tul:
google said 3.0 is "for tablets". so until now, desire will not.
[Desire General] fish2222:
3.0 will not work on phones, since it is designed for pad type devices. Also, Google is now saying that 3.0 is no longer going to be open source either. I am just curious to see if there will be a 2.4 for the phones though.
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
I am consented to 2.3.x as a major & final upgrade...

(It was not clear whether gingerbread would be 2.x or 3.0 when this thread opened by mr/s x, so don't stuck with the header; This is about Gingerbread as well, not honeycomb)
[Desire General] Ghisy:
Gingerbread has been confirmed for this month by UK carrier "Three" (3).

[Desire General] murphyleel:
Nice thats fast!

This will help the dev's create a more stable version for the rooted ROM's
[Desire General] vukis:
can somebody please rename this thread topic? :)

Because it is confusing for a lot of people :)
[Desire General] ecentrik:
haha damn I was gonna post that up. I don't think Android 3.0 will be coming to the Desire though. More likely an optimised version for phones. Perhaps Icecream if HTC is even gonna bother.
[Desire General] dgattenb:
The phones will not get 3.0, however they will get 2.4.

Google will have two different streams of android, one for tablets and a " lesser " one for Phones.. as they are hardly going to stop making phones, this seams the best outcome.

The desire is an " old" phone in terms of raw power ... the duel core lot will be the min for the next gen OS.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I am wondering if when google mentioned a more phone-friendly version of Honeycomb - if that will be 'Ice Cream Sandwich' or (like Gingerbread 2.3/2.4) it will be Honeycomb 3.1?

It's obvious (and probably on the internet somewhere anyway) that Honeycomb was more 'rushed' out to get it on the tablets and get Google in the game properly with the tablets so that iPad/iPad2 wasn't pretty much the only real tablet...

the 2.1/2.2 tablets were just tweaked phone software - where as obviously Honeycomb tablets (i.e. Xoom) and iPad are designed for the larger tablet screens...

I still imagine that Gingerbread (be it 2.3 or 2.4) will be the last version that is officially pushed out to the HTC Desire by HTC - but the DS/DHD/DZ will probably see an Ice Cream Sandwich version if they are lucky - and therefore we'll probably get a port of it for the original HTC Desire, thanks to the devs here :)

It'll probably be a very unique case if the original Desire gets an update again...!

2.1 -> 2.2 -> Gingerbread -> Ice Cream Sandwich
[Desire General] Maxtim0:
Three UK have announced 2.3 updates......but thats probably the last :(
[Desire General] tvr84:
so thats a yes we will get it then thats cool
[Desire General] Beso:
Still nothing about official GingerBread for Desire?

nope - see other threads :) i.e. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112326&page=7

[Desire General] Monk3y:
Thank you custom's rom :cool:
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Would like OP to update thread title to take out 3.0 personally ... Or update it to Honeycomb so it makes sense :)
[Desire General] SheerazRaza:
You don't need to worry guys, as HTC plans to roll-out Gingerbread for HTC Desire by cutting off selective apps..

read: http://www.geekword.net/gingerbread-update-for-htc-desire/
[Desire General] aaa:
From my personal opinion.

GB could be the last official update to Desire, if HTC kept their promise.

Froyo could also be the last official update to Desire, if HTC again broke their promise.

3.0 will never come officially to Desire.

Unofficial updates are relying 300% on the famous noble hearted devs of the XDA-Developers :)

Who knows how far the unofficial updates can go :)
[Desire General] Igothakrull:
I'm totally with you on this one. :)
[Desire General] itang:
yeah, if there are no official GB, then the unofficial one great though

cheer: :)
[Desire General] pryssing:
Gingerbread by the end of july

Acording til HTC's Facebook site:Gingerbread for Desire by the end of july
[Desire General] Heisenberg:
Don't forget Apple only have to upgrade a couple of models.. HTC have a fair few more handsets to consider
[Desire General] Zombie Dude:
I'm looking forward to the official release of 2.3 G.B. Hopefully it'll will remove Telstra's bloatwear on my phone. Plus it should mean we will see some much more stable builds from developers. I'd like to see Sense 3.0 on the HTC Desire at some point too.
[Desire General] Heisenberg:
Are u still on stock froyo? If u root your phone there's a few ROMs out there with 2.3 GB and Sense 3.0

Personally I'm running CM7 which is 2.3GB but not sense, it is a brilliant ROM though :)

PS. its good to find another Aussie on here :)
[Desire General] Zombie Dude:
I'm currently on a rooted device. I just like the idea of having an official 2.3 rom to fall back on.

I've been playing around with my phone through and have managed to test a few roms on it, gain S-off, and install the latest radio (so I finally have some good reception now).

Also glad to see another Aussie on here :)
[Desire General] shelukindo:
I just got the HTC Sensession previously I HTC the Desire HD and Desire Original. I had the latest Sense 3.0 on my Desire HD so some excitment was lost on my part. What disappointed me is the screen size. The Sensation screen is markedly narrow to the Desire HD although they are both 4.3' don't know why. Overall if u have upgraded ur Desire HD there is no point moving to the Sensession.
[Desire General] Heisenberg:
As far as I know the official word from HTC is end of July for official 2.3 Desire release..
[Desire General] Zombie Dude:
Yea I've heard the same thing. I'm interested to see what they removed for this update as well.
[Desire General] Hasty:
The Sensation has a 16:9 aspect ratio I believe. Which means it is widescreen similar to television. That's what makes it narrower. 16:9 is usually considered better for movies etc.
[Desire General] Deeco7:
No. 3.0 is for tablets, as for 4.0, its a no again.

Edit: Nevermind, Im babbling
[Android Apps and Games] welshboy09:
Well, I've been following development of this for a while now, and today i got an e-mail saying it was released.

What is it? Well its a device that connects to the audio jack of a phone (mainly iPhone, iPod touch etc...) and you can then use a program to send IR commands to any devices you own. Currently the company only support apple products though.

The program that is made by thinkflood has a huge database full of commands for all types of devices, makes an models. It can also learn commands by storing the IR signal from a remote. IT's pretty basic, however i have no knowledge of programming for android my area is web design and programming lol.

Therfore I am asking if there is anyone who could make such a program for Android devices? The accessory costs $49 roughly £32. And in my opinion is well worth the money as this type of universal remote would be priceless. We all love our wifi and bluetooth remotes for PC remotes etc, now I'm sure i speak for a lot of people when I say it would be awesome to control the whole shebang:P

Well I hope someone agrees with me and decides to pick up this request, I also hope that i posted this in the right section?

Thanks for listening, any questions just reply here. Also google thinkflood redeye mini for their website and info about their products.
[Android Apps and Games] welshboy09:
Come on, anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] raypatterson:
I emailed them and they told me that they are starting development on android the beginning on the year
[Android Apps and Games] Unlogic.se:
This is highly interesting and old Android phone is both cheaper and more flexible than some overpriced and crappy Logitech remote.

Let's hope Thinkflood releases and Android app soon!
[Android Apps and Games] Unlogic.se:
I e-mailed Thinkflood today and got this response:

Sounds like their still working on Android support.
[Android Apps and Games] vinokirk:
+1 for this shizzle
[Android Apps and Games] welshboy09:
Thanks for posting on this old thread and keeping me informed :) I forgot I made this thread haha.

Nice to know they are currently working on it. This along with my wifi remotes, such as XBMC, Eventghost and MCE Remote will working brilliantly :) I'll sell my logitech Harmony remote then.
[Android Apps and Games] lucfig:
Red Eye for Android is out. But no sign of the mini version. And I dont know of anything similar in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] JayBeezy802:
The only issue I have with these mini IR adapters is how powerful they are. Don't get me wrong I'm all for consolidating gadgets, but after setting up Logitech Harmony's, I think they are much better and are worth the extra cost, plus you won't lose the tiny adapters. With that said, if you have an old android phone, this is the perfect mod, no need to throw away that phone!

An a similar note, logitech is releasing an IR blaster that works with their Android App, essentially, so long as your on the same wi-fi network, your phone/app sends commands to the IR blaster which is staged in front of your devices. Very similar to Pear actually.
[Android Apps and Games] tgwaste:
it sux they spent any time on the wifi version. thats crap. the mini should had been considered first. but of course they want everyone to spend boat loads of money initailly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stickyasglue:
Hi,

did any one get their SGS from here?

as i ordered it about a week ago and nothing, contacted them and they seem very dodgy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
They are an arm of Carphone Warehouse, so are perfectly safe to use, but their customer service is apalling. I ordered my first SGS from them and they did everything but process the PAC, so when I received it, it was issued with a new number, and I had to send it all back again to be cancelled. I just bought it from Vodaphone after that, went for a 24 month contract and the 16GB model instead of Mobiles.co.uk's 18 month contract and the 8GB model.

Give them a ring and ask where your phone is, but be warned, they have dozens of different "branches" and you need the number of the branch that you ordered the phone from. All the orders are on different systems, so "Branch A" for example can't see or deal with the order from "Branch B" and A can only see that you have ordered a phone, nothing else. Took me over an hour to find the number for the right "branch".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
I got mine from mobiles.co.uk. They are a larger company so there's a bit of pot luck involved, but I've usually got them on the phone pretty quick and my phone was delivered on the same day as all the other UK first arrivals.
